Comptia Project + Project Management

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Shortening the project schedule duration without reducing the project scope






2. Request for proposal - but may have a narrower or more specific meaning






3. Project schedule compression that changes network logic to overlap phases that would normally be done in sequence






4. Modification of a logical relationship that directs a delay in the successor activity. activity with a 10 day lag - cannot start until 10 days after an activity is finished






5. Subdivision (fragment) of a project schedule network diagram - usually representing a subproject or work package.






6. Project schedule network diagram drawn in such a way that the position and length of the schedule activity represents its duration. bar chart that includes schedule network logic






7. Deliverable that is subject to approval by the project sponsor or customer






8. Degree - amount or volume of risk that an organization or individual will withstand






9. The aggregate of things used by an organization in any undertaking such as equipment - apparatus - tools - machinery - gear - material.






10. Document that establishes criteria and activities for developing and controlling the project schedule






11. Document that describes how the project scope will be defined - developed and verified and how the work breakdown structure will be created and defined and that provides guidance on how the project scope will be managed and controlled by the project






12. Point in time associated with a schedule activities' start.






13. Identifying the specific actions to be performed to produce the project deliverables






14. An organizational placement strategy where the project team members are physically located close to one another in order to improve communication - working relationships and productivity






15. Calculation of the early start and early finish dates for the uncompleted portions of all network activities






16. Reserve






17. Processes to purchase or acquire the products - services or results needed from outside the project team to perform the work






18. Multiple attributes associated with each schedule activity that can be included within the activity list. activity attributes include activity codes - predecessor activities - successor activities - logical relationships - leads and lags - resource r






19. Narrative description of the project scope - including major deliverables - project assumptions - project constraints and a description of work that provides a documented basis for making future project decisions and for confirming or developing a co






20. ACWP






21. Approximating the number of work periods needed to complete individual activities with estimated resources






22. Describes how the project management team will implement the performing organizations quality plan.






23. The statue - quality or sense of being restricted to a given course of action or inaction. an applicable restriction or limitation - either internal or external to a project - which will affect the performance of the project or a process.






24. Improving the competencies - team interaction - and the overall team environment to enhance project performance






25. A method of estimating a component of work. the work is decomposed into more detail. an estimate is prepared of what is needed to meet the requirements of each of the lower - more detailed pieces of work - and these estimates are then aggregated into






26. The process of defining and documenting stakeholder needs to meet project objectives






27. Work that must be performed to deliver a product - service or result with the specified features and functions






28. Logical grouping of project management inputs - tools and techniques and outputs. includes initiating processes - planning processes - executing processes - monitoring and controlling processes and closing processes. NOT project phases






29. Estimate or prediction of conditions and events in the projects future based on information and knowledge available at the time of the forecast. information is based on the project's past performance and expected future performance






30. Continuously improving and detailing a plan as more detailed and specific information and more accurate estimates become available as the project progresses and thereby producing more accurate and complete plans that result from the successive iterat






31. The date up to or through which the project's reporting system has provided actual status and accomplishments. also called as-of date and time-now date.






32. Analytical technique that uses mathematical models to forecast future outcomes based on historical results. it is a method of determining the variance from a baseline parameter by using prior progress reporting periods data and projecting how much th






33. Process which generates hundreds or thousands of probable performance outcomes based on probability distributions for cost and schedule on individual tasks. the outcomes are used to generate a probability distribution for a project as a whole.






34. The acquirer of products - services or results for an organization






35. Quantitative risk analysis and modeling technique used to determine which risks have the most potential impact on the project. typical display of results is in the form of a tornado diagram






36. The earliest point in time on which the uncompleted portions of a schedule activity (or the project) can finish - based on the schedule network logic - the data date and any schedule constraints.






37. A quantitative assessment of the likely amount or outcome. usually applied to project costs - resources - effort and durations.






38. The latest possible point in time that a schedule activity may begin based upon the schedule network logic - the project completion date and any constraints assigned to schedule activities without violating schedule constraint or delaying project com






39. Developing a detailed description of the project and product






40. A diagram that describes a decision under consideration and the implications of choosing one or another of the available alternatives. it is used when some future scenarios or outcomes of actions are uncertain. it incorporates probabilities and costs






41. Centralized coordinated management of a program to achieve the program's strategic objectives and benefits
